Press to Get Faster ServiceCasualty Notice

To inform the press of wa casualties, speedily and u econo­ mically, the War Department has devised a new mechanical photostatic process, it was an­ nounced today by Maj. Gen. William E. Shedd, commanding general of the Ninth ServiceCommand, at his Fort Douglas,Utah headquarters.

The upper part of notificationtelegrams will be photostated and printed in quantity for listsreleased to the pressv Name, Army serial number and grade of the casualty with the name and address (but not relation­ ship), of next of kin is shown.

The photostatic process printsan impression directly upon pre­pared paper without the usi alnegative required in ordinaryphotography. Use of this equip­ ment has greatly shortened the;time and labor involved by elim­ inating the preparation of hun­ dreds of stencils and subsequentmimeographing. However, thetremendous task of sorting cas­ualties alphabetically, by home states, theater of operations and type of casualty remains.

All such releases still carry :i note to the editor that the listsusually follow actual notifica­tion by a week or so; that the last War Department communi­ cation to the next of kin is the-final authority.

table that differences of oplnlo should arise, this mental actlvlt was far better than blind belief. Th human mind became relative! emancipated, and a great era o progress and prosperity ensued.

Among those who looked for freer atmosphere In which to worshl God, without ecclesiastical rcstrlc tions, were thc Pilgrim Fathers, who came to America early In the seven teenth century. Ewn though the religion was austere and their vlslo restricted, nevertheless they saw great light, and they followed It wit burning zeal to lay the foundation of religious liberty In the New World It wns after more than two humlrc years of liberated thought that Ne England produced a spiritual leade of the first magnitude, who was destined to become the Founder o a great religious revival of the gos pel of Christian healing.

The Discovery of Christian ScienceFrom early Infancy Mary Baker

who was afterwards to become Mrs Eddy, was a bhlld of promise. Sh was endowed with spiritual vision far beyond her years, and the Blbl was her dally companion. The hear of this New England child was flllec with two great loves: she loved Goc supremely and e loved her neigh bor as herself. She writes In he autobiography, "Retrospection and Introspection." that, after manyyears of endeavor to trace all physl:al effects to a mental cause, nnd icr own Immediate recovery, from asupposedly fatal accident, throughspiritual means alone, she was letto the conclusion In 1866 that "al causation was Mind, and every eflcc n mental phenomenon" (p. 24). Mrs.Eddy then took time to test her dis­ covery over n period of yenrs before publicly announcing her conclusions.Finally, In the year 1875. when there wns no longer any reason for delay, sluf published her textbook, "Sci­ence and Health," which, with Its "Key to the Scriptures," that fol­ lowed, has since surpassed 6very

The Triune PrincipleIn her introduction to the plat­

form of Christian Science, beginning

In the opening paragraph of the Christian Science textbook, Mrs. Eddy names "nn absolute 'aith" as the first essential of true prayer. She says In that passage (Science nnd Henlth, p. 11. "The prayer that re­ forms the sinner and heals the sick Is nn nbsolute faith that all things nre possible to God, a spiritual un­derstanding of Him, an unselfed love."

These declara- sumnied up the cnse briefly as fol- tlons were depressing, 'or they af- lows: "There arc three that bear firmed only the false nature of record In heaven, the Father, the mankind.Word, and the Holy Ohost: and these When I became Interested Inthree are one."

The Pentecostal Baptism When Jesus was baptized by John

the Baptist at the river Jordan, thc 1 pr-ulse was given that Jesus would

b :e with the Holy Ghost. tMatt.3 . 18:19; and John 1:33; 7:33.)It v r. not until after the ascension of jc however, that his disciples receive the overwhelming Influx ofthe Holy Spirit, which came to them on thc dny of Pentecost. That great day marked the beginning of a new era for the disciples and for the future ol .he human race. The apos­ tles, who had felt helpless and In­ capable without the personal pres­ ence of their beloved Master, were now suddenly transformed Into tow­ ers ol spiritual strength. Their per­ suasive oratory became so Irresistible that three thousand people Joined them on that day. and on another occasion five thousand more were added.

This phenomenal outpouring ot the Holy Spirit was by no meansconfined to the day ot Pentecost; Itcontinued to guide. Inspire, and sus­ tain the apostles, so thnt they In turn were nble to Impart the same enthusiasm to others. It was thusthnt the Christian religion receivedIts first great Impulse utter the briefearthly ministry of Christ Jesus.

The Authority of tho Biblo One of tho great sheet anchor;

which proved to be the ultimate sal­ vation of the drifting church was tin New Testament. This body of written testimony passed through muny vi­ cissitudes before the present canonwas adopted, and It Is one of thegreat proofs of the Immortality olthe teachings ol Christ Jesus that wc have his words and the account of his deeds, uncontumlnated by thcgreat mass of legends and Apoc­ryphal literature that, at one time threatened to obscure the Inspired Word.

The whole Bible In approximately Its present lorm. Including thc Old and the New Testament, did not become available lo thc layman un­til the sixteenth century, when the great Protestant Reformation be,jaii to Influence the thinking ol u law part nl Europe U was hoped, bjthe leaders ol ProH-stuiitlsm thai thetranslation ol the Bible Into the com­ mon vernacular or "vulgrr tongue,"would provide Christendom with the supreme nuthiiiilv necessary le su- pcrsedc cccltbK Mi-ill dogmas and would eventually i-nabit uverv manto work nu| jn* own salvationthrough a knowledge ol Hit truth

This hope wits only partially real Ized. nowevu loi it was soon louiuthat the Bible wiu, open '.o a grem variety ol private- inicipruiatlona Irtpile ul this dlllkulty. the Ulble or­gan to have u very wide clrculaiiui uniong all kinds it people, and. whlliall did not agree us to the truv mean Ing ol curtain passages, tint Scrip­ tures were btudled with Increasing

Christian Science, all this waschanged. I learned that the real man was unfallen; that he was truly the son of Ood. I began tounderstand that the term "man," w thout any 'qualifying adjective, stands for the likeness of God, nndthnt God Is Himself the very Life.substance, and Intelligence ol 'the universe, including man. I then saw that nil the defects to which mortalsare supposed to be subject -omc not from God, but from n false sense of origin In material parentage. I saw further thnt from the beginning of time two conflicting theories of exist­ ence had been at war with each other. The first was a steadily grow­ ing realization that God Is the only cause and creator, and the second, a material counterfeit claiming that mortals are also creators, having m nds of their own, which are fre­ quently In conflict with the divine Mind. I saw thnt these two opposite theories of existence were the wheat nnd thc tares to which the Master had referred In one of his parables,. When the Christian Science text­book fell into my hands, I was at once Impressed by tlio toft thnt an omnipotent God Implies an Infinite Mind, and that all that Is t ue mustnecessarily emanate from that oneMind. Heretofore I had not beenab c to understand why there were so many religions; now I understood that actually there Is but one true religion, that of which thc Christ-spirit, through whomsoever It may work, Is Its sole exponent and dem­ onstrator.

The teachings of Mary Baker Eddy were to me a direct answer toprayer. I found In them tho an­swers to the questions that hau pre­viously perplexed me, and both my reason and my aspiration for spirit­ ual things were satisfied. I saw thatMrs. Eddy's great service to human­ity lay In the fact that she had not been drawn aside from the Inspired Word of the Bible, through the usual futile attempt to explain the Inex­ plicable phenomena of matter on a material basis. She had taken the fact of God's allness literally, andhad thus repudiated as untrue evcry- th i g inconsistent with God and His Image and likeness.

The remarkable proofs of healingand regeneration which followed theapplication ol this revival ol primi­ tive Christianity made It still furthera iparent that a great discovery had been made. When asked to state the cardinal point of difference between her teachings and all other religions.Mrs. Eddy replied (Unity ol Good.p. 0): "This: that' by /cnuuimp i/i« unreality ul disease, sin, and deuth. you demonstrate the allness if OodThis difference wholly separates my Byateui from all others." While thereIs much In conunon between Chris­tian Science und many other reli­ gious faiths. In this one particular tho repudiation of sin, disease, and death, aa the unreal products ol the so-called human mind Christian

The Revival of Christian HealingOne of the striking phcnomcn

that followed the publication ot th Christian Science textbook was 1 healing effect upon the readc Many, like myself, who had neve dreamed that tho reading of a boo could heal the sick, were emanc paled from both acute and chron diseases. Furthermore, the book pro duced such a fundamental change o viewpoint that In some cases no only physical Ills but long-standln habits, such aa smoking, drlnklnf and profanity, fell off without s much as n struggle. The last chap ter In Science and Health, entitle "Frultag-," contains a hundred page of testimonies by those who hav been healed physically and morall by the simple reading of that book These testimonies have been verlfle by the same methods that would berequired by a court of law.

Similar testimonies of the constantly recurring cases of Chrlstlai Science healing appear monthly In The Christian Science Journal and every week in the Christian Selene Sentinel. Further.. 10. , a regula period Is set aside every Wednesday evening In all Christian Selene churches at which Individuals give their personal witness to the heal Ing and regenerating benefits o Christian Science. '

The following Incident, which occurred soon after I became InterestedIn Christian Science, is an Illustra tion of this point. In thc housewhere I was then living, there wasa young man who drank to excess.When I returned one evening, his mother met me at the door and Im­ plored me to stay with her son. whoshe said, was suffering from dellrlun :remens. The doctor had been wlti ilm all day nnd wns expected back

ifrald that 'her eon might jump ou of the window. When I entered thcroom, I saw a most terrifying specta­ cle. The young man was In a bellig­ erent mood and was quite violent.After I had spoken n few words" ol ruth lo him, he became quiet and ay down. I read some passages

from Science nnd Heajth.nfter which he arose and dressed for dinner. When I reached the dining roomhalf an hour Inter, I found thc young mnn in his place, In n perfectly nor- mnl condition.

This experience occurred soon after my own healing from several chronic ailments, from, which I had never before been able to get permanent ellcf. Since then the evidence of

Christian Science healing tins con- Inued to multiply, until today there s no longer room for doubt that the

divine Mind Is the Great Physicianhat Is able to meet all human needs.'o those <"ho have not yet been set ree from the Ills to which they nre ubjcct I would sny, In the words of

Mrs. Eddy (Science and Health, p. 10), "The more dimcul( seems Ihe

material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our aith and the pursr our love."

The Universal Solvent In cleansing the so-called human

mind of its Impurities, It Is essentialhat we have an effective solvent.)n page 405 of our textbook, Mrs.

Eddy names four specific phases ofrror and their metaphysical anti- otes. She says, "Christian Scienceommands man to master the pro- enslties,-to hold hatred In abcy- nce with kindness, to conquer lust

with chastity, revenge with charitynd to overcome deceit with hon­

esty." This list could, of course, bextended Indefinitely; but these four xamples nre sufficient to Illustrate he method of procedure. St. Johnovered the ^whole ground with one weeplpg generalization when he

said. "Perfept love casteth out fenr.",Irs. Eddy also names divine Love asthe universal solvent," and she rges her followers to overcome sclt- ove, which, together with self-willnd self-justification, she calls "the damant of error," with this "unl- ersal solvent of Love" (Ibid., p. 242). As an Illustration of the way In

which errors of belief tend to obscure God's likeness as rellected by the eal man, the following true story

may prove helpful. Some years ago a private collection

f art treasures was donated to a metropolitan gallery. The authorities hose what they considered museum icces, and thc rest of the pictures ere offered for sale. One ot Ihe ems was listed aa "Portrait ol a

man (after Titian)." A buyer for nothcr gallery saw the picture, and,icing familiar with thc old master'scchnlque, he felt convinced that the ortralt was a genuine Titian which lad been disguised, as was often done n wartime, by painting another plc-urc over the original work of art.

This buyer purchased the picture forcomparatively small sum. When the

iroccss of removing the over-palnt- ng was undertaken, It soon became vldcnt that there was another plc-uro underneath. As the work pro­ cessed the beauty of tho undcrly- ng portrait became more and more pparent. Finally, when the cleaning rocess was completed and the orlg-

nal work was fully revealed, an cx-Ibltlon was held before technicalxpcrts. Their verdict was that the ortralt Is the best example of itlan's art now extant. Its valueestimated to be over a quarter olmillion dollars. The purpose In relating this story merely to show that false concepts ourselves and others arc '-ut super-

clal coverings. They are overlays hlch tend to hide tho real man or oman made In God's likeness.

Truth removes this fleshly veil.

The Old Man and the New ' "T|ie old man," referred to by St.aul, which needs to be replaced bythe new man," made In God's Ilke- ess, Is clearly the mortal, or false nee of man. which, according to ob, "is of few days, and full ol ouble." The new man Is not an- lier man, but Is the only real mane expresses all the good that wan

ver attributed lo the mortal man. ut lie has the advantage ol being ee from such defects as sin. dis­

use, and death. The Psalmist must lave had a glimpse of the real na-ure of man when he sang. "As lor

e, I will behold thy faue in rlgtu- ousness: I shall be satisfied, when 1wuke, with thy Ilkfiiess." This ullu- on to the nued of awakening Is Ighly blgnitlcvni, far murtaU are

asleep tu the tiutb ol being, Chris­

tian Science awakens mankind to thi realization of man's birthright as III! son of God. St. Paul must have sect the need of this awakening w'jf n he cried, "Awake thou that deepest and arise from thc dead, and Chris shall give thce light."

Thc Light of Ihe WorldChrist Jesus said plainly, "I am

the light of thc world: he that fol- loweth me shall not walk In dark­ ness, but shall -have the light of life." Since the time of his persona presence on earth, the example of Christ Jesus has not censed to Illu­ minate that portion of mankind whose vision has been turned God- ward. The light of Truth has al­ ways shone, even In the darkness of mortal mind; but It Is Been only by those who turn their faces to the light.

Wc have a perpetual example oflight shining In darkness In ourplanetary system, wherein dny and night seem to' alternate. As n mat­ ter of fact, however, the sun Is always shining, although we see t at night only ns It Is reflected by the moon nnd stars. The space between the stars is dark because, where there Is no reflector, there can be no reflection. So It Is with the sunlight of Truth, which Is n - ways shining. It Is reflected only by that state of mind which Is spiritu­ally awakened.

Some measure of thn great light whirti guided Mrs. Eddy has beenreflected by her followers throughoutthe world. Wherever the teachingsof Christlnn Science nre found In their purity, there the Bible Is the companion piece of the ChristianScience textbook, and thasc who study and practice thc truth con­ tained In thos; books are continu­ally nddlng their quotn lo the light of the world.

The Master's Theology Mrs. Eddy reminds us: "Our

Master said to every follower: 'Gaye Into all thc world, nnd preac i :he gospel to every creature 1 . . Henl the sick! . . . Love Ihy neigh­ bor ns thyself!' It wns this theology of Jesus which, healed the sick and the sinning" (ibid., p. 138). Thc'Mos-tcr's theology is summed up Ir h s prayer of Intercession, as found In he seventeenth chapter of John.

The essence of this -theology Is con­ tained in the third ve(*e, which reads, "And this Is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God.. nnd Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Reduced to Its absolute simplicity, he theology of Jesus Is the conscious

relationship of the child to Its hcav-enlv Father. Because God's childrenare made in His likeness, nothing hat Is ungodly can be found In, the

To Jesus there was but one Father. He plainly said, "Call no mmi yourathcr upon the earfh : for one Is

your Father, which Is tn heaven.' Because human -language cnnUlns 10 single word that can adeq mu-ly onvcy the full meaning of Deity,

Christian Science employs seven ynonyms. each of which has Scrlp-ural authority, nud all of whichakcn together express the fullnessf the divine nature. In answer tohe question, "What Is God?" Mrs

Eddy writes on pane 405 of the Chrls-lan Science textbook. "God Is In- orporcal, divine, sunrcnw. infinite- lind, Spirit, Soul. Principle. Lllc

Truth. Love." The- qucotlon wasonresked: "Wherein Is tljc-re any Scrip*ural authority for the word Prlncl-le ns a synonym for God?" The

inswer may be found In the words f St. Paul, who snld, "Love nevernlleth" (I Cor. 13:8, Rev. Vcr.i urely thnt which never faileth Is In he nnture of Principle.

The Healing ChristThe example of true sonship with

he one universal Father winchChrist Jesus gave, was for the bene-

t of all mankind. The disciples ame to understand this only by egre«S. As we have seen, It was not

until after the Master's complete ictory over the flesh, that they re- elved thc final revelation of the Im­

personal Saviour. This Is true also if the understanding of Christian cience which today dawns upon us rndually. Only In thc degree that ic letter of Truth Is lived does the ealln'g power of the Christ-spirit onio upon us and dwell with us. Thc healing Influence of Christ Inn cience is purely spiritual. It It theonsdous reunion of iniuikuid with

God. It Is called "TruTh'-'jiealins" ecause. In Its practice. Truth de- troys error and overcomes evil with ood. It Is also called "ChrLst-heal-ng," because 11 Is the human sur-chdcr to the Christ-Idea that de-troys both the love of mailer and ic fear of losing it. In a word, It Is IB spirit of God which annihilates verythlng unlike thc divine nature.he practitioner of this Science, owever. requires far more than a

neie knowledge of thn letter ot Mrs. ddy's teachings. ' He needs the hrist-splrlt which gives vitality to

he letter ol truth. A Christian Scl-ice treatment Is a genuine cunvlc-on that God's allness ajid ever- resence preclude tile pusslblllty ol p, disease, and deuth as constltu-nt elements of God's universe It

She was unable to use either of her arm. without excruciating pain, nnd her finger Joints were very badly swol­ len. A practical nurse was employed to attend to her physical needs. One dny she opened our textbook to thc page from which I have just quoted When she came to thc words, "The effect of this Science Is to stir the human mind to a change of base, 01 which It may yield to thc harmony ol thc divine Mind," she saw a great light. She snw that she had not been yielding to Ihe hnrmnnv of the dlvlm Mind, but on tho contrary she hat been yielding to the false testimony of the so-called physical senses and hnd become self-mesmerized thereby

Now that she hnd grnsped the truth thnt makes one free, she dls-_ missed her practitioner and hernurse, telling them thnt she wished ........

All Christendom unites In the Lord's Prayer: "Thi kingdom co ne. Thy will bc done In earth, ns It Is In heaven." Prom the Bible we learn thnt prnvcr should always be accom­ panied by faith In Its fulfillment. In a word, we should desire nothing that Is not already a reality in the divine Mind. Surely d\>r heavenly Father Is not withholding any bless­ ings from thc sons of men. Truth Is not coming true; It it true. Mrs. Eddy saw that tho prayer, "Thy kingdom come," really meant (Sci­ ence and Health, p. 16), "Thy king­ dom Is come; thou art ever-tireient." It is with this thought In mind that thc Christian Scientist offers his prayer. He knows that God's work Is done, and thnt mankind only needs to be awakened from the belief of a separate existence In matter In order to realize that God's kingdom Is come. Surely the Apostle Paul must haveunderstood this when he said, "In

'lhe Klncdom WithinLong before thc kingdoms of this

world have become the kingdom ol our God, Individuals will have estab­lished thu lelgn ol harmony withinllu'iiisc-lves. Our great Way-shower Christ Jesus, did Ibis and he made this specific bequest: "Peace 1 leave w th you. my peace 1 give into you: not us the world glveth, give 1 unto you." U Is In this state of conscious unity with divine Mind that Chris-tlun healing Is done There ure no boundaries to this spiritual realm und It Is accessible to all who are pi re In heart und have within them

sentence on materiality: "1 wll overturn, overturn, overturn. It: and It shall be no more, until he conic whose right It Is; and I will give it him." Surely the world belongs to Its Maker, yet men have bought and sold and fought for It. and ninclii plans for world domination witl^t reference to the laws of God. ^R abnormal state of affairs arises trom the fact that mortals have lost the true Idea of substance and have ac­ cepted a counterfeit called matter. Two passages from the Christian Science textbook make this error clearly apparent. The first reads(p. 263): "The multiplication ol a ••human and mortal sense of persons 1

'and things Is not creation." And 1 the second refills this void with Ihe 1 comforting assurance (p. 507): "Cre- iatlon .Is over apiiearlpg, and must tever continue to appear from the »nature of Its inexhaustible source." We see the true substance, there­ fore, only us we look above and beyond the outward or superficialappearance of things and perceive the true Idea of God reflected In the countless manifestations of the Immortality of Life, Truth, and Love.
